About this map

Big Spring marks the northern extent of this survey, where the street grid of the city meets the rising elevations of the Edwards Plateau. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent mesas and drainage draws, most notably Scenic Mtn and South Mtn, which overlook the urban expansion. This territory is heavily influenced by the presence of Big Spring Draw and Comanche Trail Lake, reflecting the essential relationship between water and settlement in West Texas.

Further south, the map reveals a transition into open ranch land and suburban pockets like Webb Village. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific sites such as Trinity Memorial Park and Saint Marys Columbarium along the main corridors. The intricate network of seasonal waterways, including Plum Draw and the various forks of S Prong Moss Cr, illustrates the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use and road placement throughout Howard County.
